GuysLitWire is partnering with InsideOut Writers of LA for the GLW Book Fair for Boys, getting books into the hands of teen boys incarcerated in LA County. I sent one of my faves, Fat Kid Rules the World!

Nathan Bransford has a wonderful interview with the woman responsible for the YA genre, S.E. Hinton. (Fun tidbit: my agent, who was the legendary Marilyn Marlow's last assistant at Curtis Brown, still has S.E. Hinton's query letter.)

Novel Update: things are moving along! We're talking about things like cover design, flap copy, titles, blurbs...it's really fun to be part of the process.

The second novel is waiting patiently for some attention and revision before sending it to Awesome Agent, and Jolie over at CuppaJolie is attempting to licorice-rope me into some kind of public display of revision insanity! (To which...I will probably succumb.)
